TCP/IP Essentials
The TCP/IP family of protocols have become the de facto standard in the world of networking, are found in virtually all computer communication systems, and form the basis of today’s Internet. TCP/IP Essentials is a hands-on guide to TCP/IP technologies, and shows how the protocols operate in practice. The book contains a series of carefully designed and extensively tested laboratory experiments that span the various elements of protocol definition and behavior. Topics covered include bridges, routers, LANs, static and dynamic routing, multicast and realtime service, and network management and security. The experiments are described in a Linux environment, with parallel notes on
Solaris implementation. The book includes many exercises, and supplementary material for instructors is available. The book is aimed at students of electrical and computer engineering or computer science who are taking courses in networking. It is also an ideal guide for engineers studying for networking certifications.
